Thanks for everyone's help. I've decided to go with a style sheet. There
is a really helpful site at http://builder.cnet.com/Authoring/CSS/ss02.html
The article seems old but it served it's purpose quite well for me.

>>CSS is what you want to use here. Something such as the following:
div.section1 {
margin-left:20px
}
in the head section or in a linked style sheet.
Then: <div
class="section1">
in the code.
This will "degrade gracefully" in older browsers, although it will NOT be
indented.
